Addict's Shot at Redemption on Trump Campaign

Published: April 2, 2024, 7 a.m.

Tim Murtaugh became a familiar face to many Americans as President Donald Trump\u2019s communications director for his 2020 reelection campaign. As one of Trump\u2019s most visible spokesmen, Murtaugh had a front-row seat to the most-watched campaign in history.\nBut just a mere four years earlier, Murtaugh found himself in a much different spot. After struggling with alcoholism for years, he was jailed in 2015 for public drunkenness and unsure of his fate. That\u2019s when he decided to give up alcohol and focus on turning his life around.\nMurtaugh would go on to work for Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue before joining Trump\u2019s reelection campaign. Today, he\u2019s running his own communications firm. He joined "The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about his new book\u2014out today\u2014called \u201cSwing Hard in Case You Hit It: My Escape from Addiction and Shot at Redemption on the Trump Campaign.\u201d\n Hosted on Acast.
